Hello all
Please forgive me but i am new to computers and very new to research. Being a non technical lady is not helpful but a friends husband who is interested in ships has suggested i ask here. I hope somebody can help me. I am trying to find some info on a very distant relative of mine who family rumour says owned some tugs on the River Thames long ago [pre-1900] The only clue i have is a name of possiblyy N or M Brownfeld or possibly Brownfell. This is a very faded signature on the only surviving page of a letter. Not being sure of the name has made it quite daunting to find facts on the census etc. A very old aunt has told me she seems to remember a doctor of that name in the family being mentioned when she was a child and is also convinced that he was the same man, but surely this seems very unlikely? I would be very grateful if anyone can help me or point me elsewhere, I have had not much luck googling.
Thanks you and apologies if i am in the wrong place
